BCD Summer Camp Programs!
Boulder Country Day is proud to host a wide range of activities for your child this coming summer!
Specialty Summer Camps
Boulder Country Day has an exciting line-up of Specialty Summer Camp Programs during June, July, and August for students ages 3 to 16. We are sure that our wide range of these camps will fulfill your child's interests. Our initial line up of specialty summer camp dates, descriptions, and times will be posted on our website later this week.
Summer Preschool and School Age Day Camp Programs
BCD will also offer summer day camp programs for parents in need of full-time care for preschool or school age students. BCD's Summer Preschool Program is for students ages 3 to 6, and our School Age Program is for students ages 6 to 13. Both programs are carefully designed to blend fun summer activities with rich learning experiences that promote active participation. The preschool and school age groups are welcomed into age-appropriate, inviting classrooms and outdoor spaces that are designed to enhance social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. Examples of summer preschool and school age program learning experiences include arts and crafts, music, science, physical fitness, cooking, dramatic play, field trips, and games.
